D-Link has made (essentially) 5 revisions of this card, and the E1 revision I have won't work. The kernel sees a prism device, tries to initialize and attach a driver to the device, but the error given is 'busy bit won't clear' (or similar). It is true, both LINK and BUSY LEDs are on, 100% constant during this time, and I think the E1 card changes it's initialization method/paramaters. Seems to be a show-stopper for all BSD systems, the couple of Linux distributions I've tried, but will work flawlessly on Windows (with D-Link's drivers, of course). >How-To-Repeat: Insert a D-Link DWL-520 rev. E1 card into an available slot and boot with the GENERIC kernel. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
